The sun is stormy. When will the magnetic storms start to subside?

On Monday, December 23, solar activity will be at a relatively high level. However, it will stabilize on December 24.

According to updated data from the Meteoagent website, which bases its forecast on NOAA satellite systems, TESIS, and international meteorological laboratories worldwide, currently on December 23, there is high solar activity at a level of 5. On Tuesday, it will decrease to 3, which corresponds to weak geomagnetic storms.

Geomagnetic activity is measured on a scale from 0 to 9, using the planetary K-index for designation. A reading of 5 or above indicates a strong geomagnetic storm.

As reported by meteoprog, forecasts suggest that on December 23, the geomagnetic field will be quiet to unstable. Solar activity is likely to be moderate, with a slight chance of an X-class flare.

To remind, geomagnetic storms are caused by solar mass ejections, flares on the surface, and other phenomena that result in energy being dispersed from the Sun in all directions, including towards Earth. This energy consists of charged particles such as protons and electrons traveling through space at very high speeds. When these particles reach Earth, they interact with our magnetic field and atmosphere, provoking geomagnetic activity.

Earlier, "Telegraph" reported on whether Ukrainians should expect snow for Christmas. On December 25, significant precipitation is not expected, with only the western part of the country forecasted to experience snow and sleet.
